Ridge Holland Requests GoFundMe To Be Removed, Will Donate Funds To Charity
On October 13, Ridge Holland announced that his WWE contract would not be renewed when it expired on November 14. Holland suffered an injury against Moose at a TNA iMPACT! taping in September.
Fightful Select confirmed with WWE that they terminated Ridge Holland’s (Luke Menzies) contract early after his recent tweets about the company’s decision to not renew his contract.
On November 4, Holland expressed concern that he wouldn’t be able to pay his mortgage and was seemingly frustrated over his situation.
A GoFundMe was set up to help Holland by an organizer named Susan Chapman. On social media, Holland stated that he was unaware the GoFundMe was being set up and he plans to donate the money to charity.
Thank you all for the incredible support shown through the GoFundMe campaign. However, I want to clarify that I was not aware the page was going live and had no prior discussion with the family member who created it. I’ve since requested that no further donations be accepted, and this change should take effect within the next 24 hours. Once we figure out how to move forward and I recoup the amount donated, I will be donating said amount to charity. I sincerely apologize if the page caused any upset or offense — that was never the intention. Thank you for your understanding and kindness.

Chapman, who revealed herself to be Holland’s mother, issued a statement of her own:
Hello everyone, I wanted to write this update to let you know that I’m the mum of the father that you all are supporting. I set this fundraiser up for the family without them knowing because I want to help. I also wanted to thank you all for your support, it is very much appreciated.
